For those complaining about the mouth : This step is called layering for a reason, it is to build the location of the features and begin to block initial values. Because the light hit the model from the front it is tedious to get the lips proportions right from the 1st layer but like the chin area corrections are possible and necessary in the next stage. The rendering layer should correct harsh lines around the lips and curve up the hair flow as well as smoothing out the neck shadows. It is really awesome that he get so close on the first pass without going crazy on the eraser so the texture of the paper and confidence of the first lines can be preserved. For most peoples it take a lot of back and forth with the eraser (taking breaks between session sometimes) to reach pin point accuracy.

beautiful art...

[@rayjoo9401]

Pay attention to how he dealt with the muscles around the lips before he started to draw the mouth. That’s why the characters in the portraits done by Chinese always have upheaval mouths which look way bigger than they should have been,

Thanks for this wonderful video, I made it out from slump.

I prefer this than using grids . Whenever I use grids I feel like I'm cheating 😭

[@gauravkapse2661]

Same bro

[@everettwhite9874]

Grids are just aids to get help with measurements for me. I’ll use anything if it’ll get the result I want. You’re not cheating at all. 😊

[@tristan5951]

Grids are lame

[@self4341]

​@@everettwhite9874 it severely hinders the natural learning process, take this from me who wasted years of "practice" by using grids. you just learn to copy box by box whilst completely ignoring the absolutely necessary fundamentals like perspective, 3d space, anatomy, values etc. it's like trying to learn how to write by copying the curves of each letter whilst not knowing the alphabet itself. there is no such thing as cheating in art but you are cheating yourself out of the skills needed to be atleast an intermediate draughtsman/woman.

[@indravatijaiswal6464]

I also have same problem

I made one about ten years ago using a grid, i think im a little better now, anyway good artwork dude. 👍

[@AhallyaDebbarma]

[@blessedstudyou7249]

huhu as an artist its very difficult to me making art by freehand because I always used grid to make my drawing more accurate but this man really did it by freehand❤

[@cirart]

This drawing is truly remarkable, with exquisite attention to detail and captivating artistry. I kindly invite you to share your own drawings with me as well.

[@kevinnoel9024]

Sight-sizing in my opinion allows one to truly see and draw what is there in front of you.

Com certeza deve ser anos de treinamento, mas como todo profissional no que faz, deve sim existir alguns macetes , vou comentar aqui só pra acompanhar, caso ele responda :D

Tu hermana es argelina residente en Egipto y mis circunstancias son dificiles, y hoy hice el primer video para enseñar dibujo en la cara y las manos, quiero tu apoyo para poder continuar y mejorar mi nivel economico.

[@ivancunovic2601]

I use grids for commissions if I dont have enough time, it helps with sketching quicker, but when i do art for myself, then i draw without grid because i can take as much time as i want for it.

[@ivancunovic2601]

You can also try making grid bigger and then you kinda try to combine grid method and freehand drawing, gotta keep both of them in mind, not rely on grid completely

[@kevinhardy8997]

I still struggle to get proportions right even with a grid. I should try blocking and stepping back. Erase a line and step back again.

biggest tip is to draw on an easel do not draw looking down

This is what I wish SO CALL FINE Artist who teach WILD LIFE would do, instead of TRACING FROM THE PHOTO, be it their own, or from a magazine, book or someone else photo. I makes if more like cheating. to be teaching how to TRACE, and then copy from the photo. without KNOWING the anatomy.

[@fived9424]

Looks nothing like her though. If you reimagine her original face in a 3d environment and your portrait in an original environment they'd look really, really different. Don't try to draw what you know is there, draw what can be seen.

[@mank9041]

Looks a little similar to the ref IMO but I agree, there’s some parts that make it look a little off to the original reference, around the nose and lips. Technique’s still pretty good though

[@rayjoo9401]

That’s the Russian way of draw which invaded the art academies in china decades of years ago. Yes, he’s drawing correctly and skillfully in a boring way. It’s nothing to do with the talent but years of hard training. Trust me, I used to be one of them.

[@atheenahfan-kb4sh]

yep. true blocking takes training and practice. you don't have to have talent to block, you just need technique.

[@sergiopacheco2939]

I've been looking into the Drawing Academy course, which is also here on KZbin. The instructors are Russian..Upon observing their videos, I've noticed that they are really elaborate, methodical in the way they block their drawings. I have been tempted in taking their courses. But I feel it may be too rigid for me regarding style. I block portraits in free style but I use a combo of techniques. Nontheless, interesting observation
